President Cleveland surprises the
people by the brevity of his annual
message, and more particularly as he
devotes the entire space to a consider
Heretofore he has INDUCED in n very
copious flow of language, treating on
many subjects. and stringing out the
state paper to tiresome length, and
calculating on this weakness the re-
port was circulated that the present
document would consist of nearly 22,-
600 words. The modesiy of the presi-
dent is pleasant disappointment,
and where only a few individuals
would have peruscd the production
had it stretched out to the intermind.
able dimensions anticipated, thousands
will now carefully digest its contents.
The suggestions presented in concise
and convincing language will meet
with due attention from people Mt large
and will no doubt spur up congress to
take immediate action upon the ques-
tions which Mr.. Cleveland considers of
such vital importance. If the gravity
OF the situation is such as he depicts,
prompt measures alone it would
seem, is the only remedy to prevent
serious financial crisis. However the
presidents inclination to favor the
views of free traders may influence
his present position and the dangers
he so darkly predicts may be exagger-
ated. Whether biased by political
motives or moved by the shadow of
impending danger the contents of the
message is OF such character as to
insure it more than usual considera-
ton.

Gov. Semple's message Is general III
its contents. 1t is the first state paper
that the gentleman has had an oppor-
tunity to draft as governor of the ter
ritory, and he does not coiiine him
self to any specially. He touches
successfully upon about all
the. measures that come within
the power of legislature that Is re-
stricted by congress to so limited a
field that one wonders just what the
body is empowered to do. While the
document is not brilliant literary eff.
fort, yet it is plain and to the point
and invites attention to several very
important subjects that the legislature
cannot afford to ignore. We shall not
particularize in this connection, as the
message is before our readers and by
glancing over il they can form their
own conclusions. Two subjects that
may be considered as the most promin-
ent just at the present time in the ter
ritory, are studiously avoided, the gov
ernor evidently being unwilling to
openly commit himself, and those are
women's suffrage and prohibition. In
this we consider that the governor has
acted with a good deal of discretion,
and the legislature could not do better
than to follow the example set by the
executive.

1t Opens up with Promise Of Great
Social and Financial Success.
Notwithstanding one of the most
inclement evenings experienced in
this place for years, quite u large num-
Der OF ladies and gentlemen bruved the
storm and were present at the opening
of the Sisters fancy fair in the Falls
City opera house last evening. and
should the weather prove favorable the
next two nights will see an attendance
so large as to tax the capacity of the
hall. Want OF space prevents as full II
report OF the fair as it deserves through
our hands. The deft hands OF fair
women have beautited the interior of
the opera house and through the
generosity of contributors the ladies
give an exhibition Of fancy, ornament
al and useful articles, the like of which
has never BEEN seen collected together
in this city. As Il fancy fair it is the
greatest success and ought to- result in
IL very handsome sum for the worthy
| object to be benefited. There are

| We 10 not blame Isaac for falling in
love with her;any number Of articles to
be raifled off in which one can Sc.
cure chances; excellent music, happy
faces, pleasant people and Il good time
generally. One of the most attractive
features is the bazaar, presided over by
Mesdames Flournoy and Hagan on
the right hand side looking from and
near the stage. This table, or rather
pyramid of handsome and useful ar.
ticles makes up II collection the like
of which is rarely seen. Much credit is
due these ladies for the tasty display
it making an exhibit that calls forth
the praise of all who visit the hall
Among the special features OF the fair
is gold headed cane, Il beautiful ar
ticle, that is to be voted to the most
popular member of the city council,
and IL hat-rack to the most popular ire
company. Voting will commence on
both articles this evening. To
appreciate the display it is necessary
to visit the hall, and no resident can
afford to remain away. The hall will
be open to visitors tonight and to.mor-
row night, and also during both after
moons.
There are II thousand articles on dis.
play adapted for holiday gifts, and
those who are expecting to invest in
presents should patronize the Sisters
fair thus assisting cause that is in
every respect deserving of all the aid
that can be given it. The music is by
the Spokane orchestra, which is equiv
alent to saying that it is the very best.

THE DEADLY REVOLVER
One of Those Sad and Unfortunate
Accidents That are Constant
ly Occurring.


Accidents That are Constant
~ Occurring.
Yesterday morning between and .
o'clock very sad and terrible acc.
dent occurred in this city, which in all
probability will cause the death Of "A
young wife and most estimable lady.
Again the accidental discharge OF a re.
yolver claims victim although in this
case the accident was one of those un.
fortunate events for which no one is
to blame, and which was not even due
to carelessness. The scene OF the
shooting was at the residence on the
corner Of Riverside avenue and Wash.
ington street, occupied jointly by Mrs.
Nelson and Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Cock.
rel, and the injured person the young
wife of Mr.. Cockrell. As near as can
be learned, the accident occurred as
follows:
On Sunday night Mrs. Cockrell
had placed her husbands revolver in
the tray of her trunk fearing that some
accident might happen if it was left
where people could get hold of it,.
Yesterday morning she wanted to get
something from the trunk and taking
out the tray laid it upon bed, and
was in the act of taking out the article
for which she was searching, when in
some unaccountable way the pistol
was discharged. The ball entered the
lower part OF the victims abdomen in
front and on the right side, and, pass
ing diagonally completely through her
body, came out on the left side Just
above the hip.
For a moment the family were com
pletely panic.stricken, but promptly
recovered, and DIR. Allison. who lives
almost across the street, was summon
ed. Just as the doctor arrived, A. e..
Edwards, an intimate friend of the
family, was informed of the accident,
and while in the room where it took
place found the bullet that had inict-
ed the terrible wound. This was the
first intimation that the doctor had
that the ball was not still in the wo-
mans body.
The unfortunate lady showed won
derful iorti,ude and self control, stat
ing exactly how the accident uccllrrsd
and tried to cheer her grief-stricken
husband. DR.. Essig soon arrived, and
both physicians did all in their power
to relieve their patient. While the
wound is very dangerous, there is IL
possibility that the bullet passed below
vital part. Then too the fortitude
and will! power of the wounded lady
are strongly in her favor. The case Is
especially sad because the victim is
such recent bride and to all appear
ances had II long and happy life before
her. Her maiden name was Bertha
Barhusen, and she came here only H
few months ago, engaging in the
dress making business with Mrs. Mel
son. On Oct. 1lth, she was married to
Mr.. Cockrell
At six o'clock last evening the patient
was comfortable and in good spirits,
and strong hopes were entertained of
her recovery. The afflicted husband
has the sympathy of the entire com
munity in this great calamity, and
any improvement in the condition of
the brave and estimable lady will be
hailed with sincere JOY.

THERE was considerable disappoint-
ment among sports that report of
the Smith. Kilrain pugilistic contest,
that took place in Spain Saturday for
the championship of the world, did
not reach the papers out west, How
ever, the interest was exceedingly
tame in comparison with that which
centered in the great Heenan and
Sayres fight many years ago, when
everybody was wild TO learn the first
particulars and rejoiced over the vic
tory of the Benica boy. 1t indicates
that public sentiment is changing for
the better, and that decade hence
prize fighting will be unknown, or OF
no more interest than an ordinary To-
cal event, that comes only within the
knowledge OF those living in the i'm
mediate community, and even then
that interest will be confined to a
limited number Of the lower class.

Treatment of Poisonous Bites.
Philadelphia Record.

For the treatment of poisonous bites
or wounds made by insects an eminent
physician and lecturer advises as follows:
Apply hartshorn, cologne water or
vinegar directly to the wound. A poul-
tice of ipecac has been recommended
for the same purpose.
This is all the treatment that is needed
for bites of wasps and bees. Sometimes
a person may be stung by great many
bees or wasps at once. In such cases
fainting may be produced, and the
patient will need internal stimulants,
hartshorn, wine, brandy or some liquor.
Poisonous wounds made by spiders,
centipedes and scorpions are treated in
the same way as those made by insects
that is, by the direct application of hart
shorn to the wound, and when necessary,
internal stimulauts.
For snake bites says another eminent
ply sician, various external remedies may
be recommended, of which the best is car
Donate of ammonia in doses of ten to
twenty grains every half hour. Friction
to the surface of the body with pieces
of flannel dipped in hot alcohol is also
beneficial. These remedies can not be
applied too soon. Sweet oil is also good
remedy. The patient must take a spoon
full of it internally and battle the wound
for cure. To cure horse it requires
eight times as much as for a man.
DR.. Weir, of this city, states that the
application of carbolic acid Immediately
on the receipt of the wound prevents both
local and general poisoning. The pure
acid, however, if applied in too great q
quantity. is liable to produce sloughing
and even dangerous symptoms, hence il
is best used in the proportion of two
parts of acid and one part of alcohol
Given interim ally or applied to.the wound
at a late period it produces no effect. II
Is believed to act by causing contraction
of the small vessels, and thus preventing
absorption of the poison.
